Just calculated that the price is 8,88 dollars per gallon here (approx 1,53e per liter). When I fuel my car I usually pay around 70e.

most people complain about the price of petrol (myself included) but its actually really cheap tbh. think of how much work goes into getting the oil in the first place (first finding it, then building rigs to extract it, can't be cheap, especially when doing it at sea), then converting it into petrol, then delivering it to stations, and so on.
and its £1.30 or so a litre. thats cheaper then a pint of beer from a pub, which has F all costs compared to petrol. its nearly cheaper then a litre of milk from a supermarket, and how much cost can there be in keeping a cow.

granted its a bitch, since only a few years ago it was like 80p a litre. but at the end of the day, its still relativity cheap

It's not like they build a rig to extract 1 barrel...

LOL. You'd think they'd get that sorted at a time like this....oh wait, they can't, cause the wee man that would come to do it can't cause he cannae get any petrol cause his local shell has none and the other stations are running on empty.....

from what ive seen in the news/papers etc. its only affecting like 700 at the most stations out of around 800? someone correct me if im wrong with that, my memory is shite, but its not that bad....yet. ill be damned if it goes back down below $100 a barrel.

Most stations have petrol, it's just effecting certain regions more than others. People panic buy and create a problem where there is none.

What you'll probably find is that it's the area's furthest away from depot that are struggling (and maybe rural areas). City wise....when one is shut, you simply head to the next one and so on and so forth
